THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1915 OUTLOOK FOR THE WINTER FAIR While there is no-merit in blinding our eyes to facts and attempting to make ourselves believe lhat commercial and other conditions arc the best and the outlook for thc winter rosy, still, conditions are not so bad as they might bc. There arc many hundred Ions oi' hay in the district awaiting a belter- price, and the same of. potatoes and other ���������������������������'field*produce. There arc thousands of bushels of . wheat, oats and barley yet lb be sold. * And in addition to all this, there are many morc'buttcr producers in lhe district than ever before, and the egg men are likewise producing heavily irom Iheir poultry flocks. While there will be no winter .camps"in operation by the lumber-mill company, nevertheless, logging camps will be run. and logs put upon lhc river banks for next season's cut. There is no reason lo believe that the winter oi' . 1915 will bc worse than thai of 1914. Indeed, indications arc lhal it may he heller, provided outproduces succeed in disposing of their product at even a fair price. The lliing to remember in a small community where every man wauls lo do and sell whal lhc olher man does and sells, is lhal it is fatal to go up against lhe other man's game���������������������������gel a game of yourown, and play it to lhe limit. STRONG MOVES FOR CREAMERIES II is evident from lhe energetic way in which several localities in tl._ Okanagan are gelling oul after creameries to be located there, that the people of llie Valley arc (irmly convinced lhal the 'best'policy is lo gel hack to'the cow. And another good.feature noted is that they arc not going VolsiLdown and.waiLlor:JJjcJjo__:inuiKMl!_J<A assist them. Al Armstrong Ihey have organized whal Ihey lerm the Armslrong and Northern Okanagan" Dairy and Agriculturel Association, wilh shares placed al $~>0 each. The purpose is lo raise local capital sullicienl to purchase a plant and operate il on cream drawn from all lhe district norlh of Armslrong as well as locally. The Pcnliclon Herald tells of a similar step taken lhere by Ihe local husinessmen, and lhe Hoard of Trade of lhat wide-awake locality has Ihoroughlv organized the movement. liminary work must be done in explaining to buyers thc qualities and methods of manufacture of our British Columbia woods. There arc many misconceptions which are very prevalent and which act as a barrier to the introduction of our. lumber products. These can only he overcome by energetic personal work among the buyers by a "representative thoroughly conversant with every phase of our lumbering industry. Again, there are many trade requirements which arc designed to meel ihe case of Swedish and Russian lumber but which arc not properly applicable to thc very different timber species of the Pacific Coast. In many such cases slight modifications of the customary specifications would not affect lhc interests of lhe Old Country buyer in any way, while Ihey would cheapen production here and so enable the sawmills of this Province lo quote lower prices and secure a larger share of this trade. Through general work of this character thc Provincial lumber commissioner will be of considerable assistance not only in preparing thc way for future developments but also by co-operating with the various brokers.and agents who represent lhc interests of British Columbia lumber firms now doing business in thc United Kingdom markets. So active has been the campaign conducted by American shippers, and so largely have Ihcy increased Iheir representation in Europe recently lhal thc Minister of Lands has decided that a strong effort is.ncccsary to counteract This action and protect British Columbia business. Mr. J. G. Woods, the well-known lumberman, has been appointed as the new lumber commissioner to the United Kingdom.. Mr. Woods has been long and intimately connected with thc lumber business of the coast. Hon. Dr. W. H. Montague, who was Minister of Public Works in lhc Roblin Government, was found dead in his room iff the Royal Alexander Hotel lasl Saturday afternoon. Death was due to heart failure. - - FOOL LEGISLATION All reform movements are a good thing. But with them'there usually comes a host of fool movements"which seem to bc thrust in in order lo divide lhc people and so becloud lhc real issues as to wreck thc wholc.movcmcnt for reform. . At a lime like this, when, the public mind is.flitting about seeking to find someone or something to blame for its'own misdeeds, wc.hcar of all kinds of demands for fool legislation.. .The revival.of lhc prohibition movement has been.the means .of1 bringing forward in British;-Columbia other demands which seek lo improve the morals of the people by legislation. Movements of this nature arc as old as lhc hills. They come periodically. The people go from one extreme tothc other, and after having gone thc limit in one direction Ihey turn and go the other. And in thc lead of each movement will be found a number of good men and women, and wilh Ihem "cranks"...of various shades and color, who, unfortunately, are usually the readiest to air themselves from pulpit and We carry a good stock of the following ROBIN HOOD SEAL OP ALBERTA RADIUM GRAHAM WHOLE WHEAT RYE Also Bran, Shorts, Middlings, Wheat, Oats, Barley, Barley Chop, Oat Chop, Cracked and Whole Corn and a good supply of Poultry Foods.

"Wc wen tion particularly," says the Gazelle, "a certain entity, '(one could hardly insult his neighbor by calling it a. man) who is at present in Kcrcmcos on business, but whose permanent home is at thc coast.. At a public meeting in Kcrcmcos, speaking on what hc was pleased lo lerm Prohibition, hc laid an insult at thc door of every home in thai patriotic town when, after hemming, hawing and hedging, hc staled that if the,bo.vs-wcrc-backJ'rom.the.front thev would all The only rigid a grown man or woman should really want is Ihe rigid lo be useful. ASSISTING THE LUMBER INDUSTRY The heavy orders for lumber for the United Kingdom placed through the Provincial Government during Ihe past summer as a result of the visit of Lumber Commissioner MacMillan to Kurope show whal results can be obtained by governmental action in assisting lhc lumber industry. .In order lo follow up the advantage al- readv gained in this new line of work, the Hon. \V. B.'Boss has announced thai lhe Provincial Government is sending a business representative of lhe industry lo London. Investigation has already shown that before lhe Kuropenn market can he entered, on any scale, by our manufacturers a great deal of pre- vote for prohibition, as thc reason most of.them went to lhe front was.lo.gel away from the liquor. This fearless'advocate of .prohibition has four sons. Are they at the front? No. They arc not afraid of liquor. They are up in thc north trapping; went there as soon as war was declared." The Pcnliclon Herald calls attention lo another freak movement. This time the W. C. T. U. of that town is. responsible. Al a regular meeting cd' the ladies of that organization, a resolution was passed and forwarded to olher branches of lhe organization lo he passed, protesting against the appearance in ��������������������������� mail-order house catalogues, llie semi-nude figures of men and women showing tlie neal, close-fitting underwear and white- wear garments. The good ladies of the Penticton W.C.T.U. ought lo be reminded lhal nudity is never indecent; clothes may be, and lingerie generally is. Perhaps it was lingerie Ihey were after. STILL CAN HOLD THE LINES The Londlnn Times correspondent with thc Russian headquarters, points oul that despite the departure of a score of German divisions from lhe Russian front, the Germans slill dispose 'of huge forces "aggregating 800,000 bayonets and 80,000 sabres." "With lhe aid of.numerous guns, innumerable Maxims and miles upon milcfv of barbed wire," llie correspondent adds, "the Teutons can hold in the various sectors from which men have been transferred long enough lo bring them back in face of an emergency." Tlie concspondenl expresses the belief that the Germans have failed in their determined efforts lo gain the Dvina River line, but they hope to start next spring on a final conquest of Russia, "showing thereby lhat Ihey have lost faith in the mirage of a separate peace."

WORK OF THE RED CROSS I**-. <>-I The good, enthusiastic, patriotic women who . arc doing Red Cross work in this, and every city, town, village and rural section of Canada, need have no worries in respect to what becomes of the articles they make for thc soldiers. Every article reaches the place intended, hence the yarns, and even worse, as to what becomes of Red Cross contributions, can be forgotten as soon as heard. In a letter addressed to the Toronto Saturday ' Night, Mrs. Plumptrc, thc honorary secretary of thc Canadian Red Cross, says: "Mr. Noel Marshall has asked mc to reply to your letter. No Canadian Red Cross supplies, or Canadian War Contingent Association (C. W. C. A.) supplies are sent to the War Office for distribution, (a) 'Tlie Canadian Red Cross ships all its supplies to its own Commissioner, Col. C. A. Hodgetts, in London, (b) By courtesy of thc Canadian Red Cross Society, the National Service Committee ships field comforts to the C. W. C. A., which has its ollice in London, but asks that all its supplies should be simply shipped car of the C.P.R., Liverpool. These are distributed byMhe C. W. G. A.,'of which Sir George Perley is president, and Mr. J. VG. Colmer secretary. They go direct through to the Canadian Expeditionary Force, with which . Mr. Colmer is in daily, communication. "The Canadian Red Cross Society look's after sick and wounded men and prisoners of war. It distributes its supplies in three ways: (a) ~by placing a depot within treach of every Canadian Army. Medical Corps Hospital, so that the commanding officers of the Canadian Hospitals can indent upon, these supplies. Incidentally,-1 may remark that our latest report from our commissioner happens .to. say that consignments of Red ��������������������������� Cross goodV have been sent3to,eyery Canadian Medical Unit at the front during/the week in which he wrote. ,y (b) By sending individual-parcels to wounded Canadians.y(c) By .sending parcels to Canadian prisoners of war.. V"The field comforts are distributed (as I have stated) only, to the fighting Canadians.in camp. General Anderson and: the, commanding officers of the various battalions have made arrangements for certain officers to indent oh these, field comforts in just the same way asThe medical officers indent on the Red Cross supplies..

' ., \ "If you would be-kind enough .to act on this ', suggestion, would yoif also take occasion to contradict flatly the rumor Avhichds coming**to.us from one end of Canada to the other, that the Red Cross is selling its supplies to the soldiers'. Our commissioner in England: characterizes this report as "simply preposterous." - ,- , WOULD FORCE THE ISSUE fore, while.prejudice dictates disbelief in his criticism of the move of the Allies in making Saloniki their base for the campaign in Serbia, it is nevertheless worth consideration, and it will be interesting to sec if future events prove him right in this as they did in thc Dardanelles. He expresses the fear that Saloniki as a base is not of much account as it is a "considerable distance from thc scene of hostilities in Serbia, and lhc necessity of guarding a long line of communications in a difficult country and in the face" of a hostile population is regarded as rendering a northward march from Salonikki inadvisable. Thc concentration of forces farther east," presumably at Kavalla or near the Dcadcgatch railway��������������������������� is held by the correspondent "to be impossible owing to military reasons." -While subsequent events may prove thc correctness of the Times' military writer, still, can the same writer tell us what other more suitable place could be selected as a base by the Allies as near the Serbian hostilities? No doubt thc base at Saloniki will-prove a difficult one to hold and to operate from when the enemy forces now conquering Serbia are released (provided they can be released before thc Allies succeed' in getting into Serbia?)' and thrown upon the Allied forces now operating in the vicinity of ,Strumnitza, but is there any other point the Allies could select which would be less difficult to hold or to operate from? AMUSING SIDE OF OUR CENSORSHIP NO ALUM ; PLAINLY* PRINTED ������������������ iHLEWHITEST. Granting that the restriction of war news is perhaps justified by war conditions, it is, nevertheless exasperating; but exasperating as it, is," it has its amusing side also.'** As one writer has said, the citizen of London picks up his newspaper and reads about -the war. Much of his war news comes from New York . He turns to the editorial page and^ reads comment based avowedly upon what has appeared;.in New York newspapers. A Zeppelin raids London, and three davs later there is printed ah account of the raid by the-.commander of a German Zeppelin,- the. account-under a New York date line. It is not much wonder that the'people'at home arc becoming tired of having to depend upon this second-hand information of how their sons are fighting, where, they are fighting and with what*.success.

Hagic baking powdeb LOOK OUT FOR THE ROCKS Perhaps the leaders of the. prohibition movement in the Province are justified in taking the position, they have assumed, but there is good reason to.doubt it. A few days ago they went from Vancouver Ho meet Premier McBride and insist upon the demands previously made being iheLby^theJGovernment.^^Lm.usULelLj^Uj.Sir. Richard," said Mr. Jonathan Rogers, president of thc organization, "that I speak for the Prohibition Party, and nothing but a clear-cut issue similar to the Alberta bill will satisfy us. If thc Government refuses that we refuse to accept any substitute." ' , "You want the Alberta bill," replied Sir Richard "that is what you will accept:, nothing more and nothing less?" "Practically," said Mr. Rogers. "So far as I am able tojudge thc feeling of our party there can bc no compromise on that point. Wc would rather go down ot defeat on that point than accept anything else." To this Premier McBride replied: "You say wc arc to follow thc Alberta or Saskatchewan method. I say, as Prime Minister of this Province, that the Government which undertakes to give the people Prohibition, should live up io thc full case. In Saskatchewan, the Government is dispensing liquor, while in Alberta liquor may bc consumed in private houses. When you call a thing Prohibition which is not Prohibition, it is a fraud on the people. I want a fair chance to take all views! As Prime Minister, T.donT want to be compelled to do what you say. T am impressed with the strength of this movement and the bona fides of those who are advocating it, but I claim the right to submit it to the people in fair form." HOW ABOUT SALONIKI? The military writer on the London Times has seriously questioned the advisability of .several military moves that have been made by the Allies in* the war, and in so doing has repeatedly exposed weaknesses; long before events proved the writer to be right. He is "on the ground," as it were, and versed on all the moves of strategic importance made by the warring nations. There- . Free criticism is the.one safeguard against an arrogant, slipshod and dishonest policy, party "or person. For its own good and the good of the community a court, whether judicial, political or military, should welcome criticism, not repress it. We abide by thc decision of our courts, but the man who thinks he has been wronged by a court should have the privilege of saying so.' To think of the powers lhat be as incapable of a lapse is on a par with the exploded theory that the King can do no wrong. Under a monarchy thc judge, in law, is delegated to act for the King. Under democracy the courts act Tor the people. And as the people are at times wrong, so may- judges, or the men in power, also be wrong.

SHOWING UP THE BANKS In his address to the Canadian Club of Vancouver last week, Premier Sifton of Alberta dwelt on the injustice of thc chartered banks employing their resources largely in operations outside of Canada, over $86,000,000 in call loans outside of Canada, should insist on tax sales, and even suits against parties who couldn't be squeezed in tax sales, for its comparatively insignificant claims against the municipalities. If, instead of extending such enormous favors to the stock instead of doing their duly-lo .the; gamblers in New York, that bank Canadian people whom they were I had employed thc $86,000,000 in le- Logging ��������������������������� II Is W. J. Woods Ready for Peace, But��������������������������� Berlin, Nov. 16.���������������������������"Germany is ready for peace, but the Allies must lake the initiative." Thc senii- oflicial Vossiche Zeitung thus defines today the position of Germany in connection with the various peace rumors afloat. Despite this statement by the Zeitung, officialdom here scoffs at the reports in chartered to serve. Premier Sifton and Premier Scott of Saskatchewan are taking an active part in the growing revolt against the system that has worked such destruction in* Canada, especially during the lasl four years. Recently the Toronto World published half a page of extracts from speeches of the said premiers, and from editorials on the subject in many newspapers of thc prairie provinces and Ontario, with its own comment. One incident that aroused widespread indignation yras the refusal of thc chartered banks to extend credit to thc Moose Jaw board of education, without t. In ������������������e wheal growing competi- ... ... ., , , ., . i tion, the prize-winning results of which-credit the school could not which we������������������ givcn in j.������������������t wcck>s is_ remain open. This refusal was re-j sue of the. Press, the following taliatory, the board having kept its scores were'made: gitimatc lines in Western Canada, the people would have been fairly prosperous, and could have paid their taxes. But these public service corporations forget or ignore their obligations to the people, by whose favor, they exist. The Edmonton Bulletin quoted Premier Sifton's remarks upon "the need of such revision of the banking law ascwill break the monopoly that now holds the business and industry of Canada in a relentless grip." CROP COMPETITION AWARDS account with a private bank. All efforts of the provincial government to influence thc banks having failed, the matter wras laken to Ottawa, when ..Finance Minister White exerted such pressure on one of the banks that it granted the credit. So the Moose Jaw juveniles are now drinking at the fount of knowledge. Speaking of this in the legislature, Premier Scott said: "I declare without hesitation, Mr. Speaker, that the banks in this instance made <��������������������������� scandalous misuse of the authoritv and discretion over Wheat Crop���������������������������1st, W.

Compulsory Service PASSES EIGHT BILLION MARK Great Britain spent $3,715,500,000 in munitions, food and payments to her army and navy between April 1 and November G, according to-thc statement made in Commons by Premier Asquith Friday. He asked for a further vote of credit in'the sum of $2,000,000,000. This credit, which is the eighth introduced, exceeds any previous credit by* several hundred million dollars. With thc amount voted in the financial year of 1914-15, the sum piloted for the war, including the new vote of credit, will reach the aggregate of $8,310,000,000. - % ��������������������������� Mr. Asquith stated that the Government had on hand $557,000,000, enough to last until the end of the month when it would be obliged to draw upon credit now asked for. The financing of "particular operations," cost $2,497,500,000 between April and September. Munitions for army ancl navy totalled $2,586,500,000 and loans to Britain's allies and thc Dominions aggregate $491,500,000. Food took $117,- 500,000 and payments to the Bank of England $52,000,000.
